It's an LpH one you need for you UK model  Steve. I may have a bottom part (single throttle cable) if you can get hold of the black knob.

If not Yamiya do them repro  ... (Steves existing  K1 switch is the LpH UK type)

Great Progress Dave..that is gonna be some showpiece when you finish it.

I wonder if The Classic Bike Shop are getting their silencers from the latest incarnation of Brituro?

I have been revisiting my '75 400F over the past 9 months or so ..I rebuilt in 1986 and never started it since. At the time I cut corners a bit like using Takasago Suzuki branded wheel rims and plating  a lot of stuff nickel as there wasn't any real zinc kits around then. Been putting it back to bog standard but taken a lot more effort than I thought to get all the little bits correct ..e.g. it now has proper DID unscripted rims and everything is re-plated in BZP that was previously in nickel.. Hoping to start it up soon...will post on here when I do.

A few years back I used the now defunct (for regular punters) V888 form .. where you sent a cheque for £5 and they photocopied you every document they have on your vehicle. Mine has had about 8 owners (cost me £110 in '85) and it transpired it was the first demonstrator at Cowies in Sunderland (MBR 491P) ... the very bike I used to stare at in their window when I lived up there in '75.

One thing I still need to do is put all of the handlebar wires back (they all connect in a big rubber boot under the tank) Do you know how they are routed? This pic attached is the best I can find.

I’m on a cruise around Iceland (not on my bike).

I’ve seen two bikes in 10 days. Not really surprising given the climate and remoteness.

However, today we are in the fishing town of Vestmannaeyjar on the island of Heimar.

Wandering up a random backstreet I saw a Black Bomber on the back of a trailer, so wandered over to say hello.

Inside I found the Drullusokkar Motorcycle Club.

And this



The owner proudly showed me his David Silver mug and catalogue from a few years back when he visited the UK.

He’s on FB (but I’m not), so go and give him a

I used to stay at a Hotel in Benderloch and also one at the Falls or Lora in the early 1990's, when I was doing work on an electronic monitoring system at Foster Yeoman Quarry at Glensanda, which wasn't accessible by road, only by ferry. Almost everything on site was from RS Components as I remember. A beautiful part of the world and I also used to enjoy eating haggis at McTavish's Kitchen in Oban. :D

Always remember going through a place called ArdLui   ...had visions of a tough Italian/Scottish bruiser.  ;D

I don't have access to it for a couple of days though to measure again.

Hi Ash

This is what he sent back so if you Know what he is on about can you have anther look at the sprocket please to give him the more info.

Hi, You have not said what chain pitch you have but I assume it is 530. The 4 mounting bolt holes distance apart (known as the p.c.d.) is taken from the centres of the bolt holes.
I make it 74mm centre hole as there is nothing listed with 73.7mm. The p.c.d. at 110mm with 10mm bolt holes.

Is the sprocket flat on both sides or a recessed ring on the inner face? I think it might be 280 sprocket type but I now need to check to see if this is still available.

May be simpler if I donate my used one to you to give him. Just pay postage.

Of course you could use Piki's (Diego  ... AKA Redice sponsor on this forum!) decals instead

He does a good discount for members and his decals are spot on.

I know painting is more authentic but decals done correctly probably look a lot better than painted on gone slightly wrong.

Maybe somebody has used them ? After all, everyone uses decals on the 400F2 tanks that I know of.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204078768641

That's only the stripes though but my experience is painting the black on isn't too difficult. You can get jet black base-coat from paint suppliers (like BMW use on cars). The base-coat dries matt/satin but as soon as you hit it with decent 2k clear it shines beautifully.
